Description

The entrance is like a vault door, circular, and of thick metal. It opens with a lot of gears turning and smoke hissing. It has shiny metal walls and metal slatted doors. It is noted for being unclean and messy, filled with junk often. There is a tunnel underneath it. There are only three Hephaestus demigods at the end of the war with the Titans because of Charles Beckendorf's death. In The Lost Hero, their numbers have risen to about a dozen boys and girls, although none of them look alike.

Leo's bunk in the graphic novel

The steel bunks are folded against the wall and have a digital control panel, blinking LED lights, glowing gems, and interlocking gears. A fire pole comes down from the second floor even though the cabin doesn't appear to have a second floor from the outside. A circular staircase leads down to the basement, power tools, an assortment of weapons, a workbench and a lot of scrap metal. Leo's bunk, Beckendorf's old bunk, has a built-in game station at the footboard, a stereo system in the headboard, a glass door refrigerator at the base, and a whole bunch of control panels running down the sides. The beds retract to a private room in the basement.

Abilities

Technokinesis: As children of Hephaestus, they can control and manipulate machines.

Can sense machines, mechanics, or metal.

Can identify machinery type and use by touch.

Can sense faults in metal ore.

A few of them possess Pyrokinesis, a rare ability that Hephaestus blesses his children with every few hundred years, since the last demigod Hephastus blessed caused the Great Fire of London. The only living demigod with this ability is Leo Valdez.
